Treat them skeptically. As mentioned, most of the mics used can't do a great job, especially for trying to judge how speakers will present images and soundstage. Most of those mics can't pick up low bass well too.
They might help you narrow down a list of what to research further, but that's about it.
Another consideration is that many channels are paid promotions...basically infomercials. Let the buyer beware. Cheers,
